Chapter 88 is in the game within a game
Weicheng Yamen.
The office of this court official has been abandoned at this time, and Shen Ning was empty when he walked into this yamen, but fortunately, the house where the materials were stored was still locked, and no one took advantage of the chaos to take away the things inside.
Zi Fu Lingyue followed behind Shen Ning, holding a few magic weapons in her hands, when they passed by the White Crane Sect just now, they buried the dead disciples of the White Crane Sect, these magic weapons were left by them, and in the current situation, of course Shen Ning would not let these magic weapons be buried with them.
With the magic weapons of the White Crane Sect, the overall strength of their group will be much improved, and they will be able to face more critical situations, but Shen Ning does not plan to distribute the magic weapons directly, he is ready to wait for everyone to gather in Weicheng, and distribute these magic weapons according to the merits of dealing with demons along the way, which can be regarded as buying people's hearts.
Now Shen Ning hasn't thought about it so much, he is looking through some files in Weicheng over the years, as well as the summary of Henan Province's affairs.
Zi Fu Lingyue has always disliked dealing with official documents, so she didn't go to see these, and just waited quietly by Shen Ning's side.
It's hard to put into words, as if as long as you stay by Shen Ning's side, everything in the world becomes better, and even the air is even sweeter.
She loved the tranquil atmosphere.
Shen Ning sat next to the desk in the room, and Zifu Lingyue looked for some records of Weicheng for him according to his request.
After reading part of the dossier, Shen Ning couldn't help but sigh slightly: "The prefect of Weicheng is a good official, but unfortunately he is a mortal, and when facing the people of the mountains, he failed to organize an effective resistance. ”
Zifu Lingyue sat beside him and took off her mask, perhaps because of the influence of the environment, at this time, her voice was extraordinarily gentle: "It's over, and it's useless to sigh." ”
"That's what you said."
Of course, Shen Ning would not refute, but flipped through a letter written on March 3, on this letter, Shen Ning unexpectedly learned the cause of the demon disaster in Henan Province.
On the 10th day of the first month, Hulu Mountain suddenly had a group of demons run out of the mountain, attacked Dongguo County, the county's three hundred households, none of them were spared, when the Tsing Yi Division arrived, the demons had fled back to the mountain, and then under the arrangement of the Henan Provincial Town Guard, the elite Tsing Yi Division personnel were dispatched from all over the country to sweep the demons.
On February 18, there was no news from Tsing Yi Si, and three days later, a Xuanjing cultivator of Tsing Yi Si Xingsu was seriously injured and escaped from Hulu Mountain.
The town guard envoy was furious, after reporting to the imperial court, he personally led the troops to Hulu Mountain, and suffered heavy losses, since then the demons in Henan Province saw that the garrison was empty, and began to make a big mess, after reporting to the imperial court, the reinforcements from all over the country were already on the way to come, and Wangweicheng knew that he would prepare as soon as possible.
This letter is from the frontline city of Yangchun City, and it is supposed to be used to pass on information.
After reading the letter, Shen Ning had a general understanding of the ins and outs of the matter, he had seen the twists and turns about Henan Dao in the Yangxin Palace before, but it was far less direct than this letter.
"The current situation in Henan Province is to blame for the town guards here!" Shen Ning sighed slightly.
The town guard envoy is a carefully selected cultivator of the Great Jin Dynasty, who is responsible for overseeing the affairs of the Hundred Families of Xianmen and the Tsing Yi Division in an area to deal with the demon troubles, and has great authority, so that he can concentrate his efforts to deal with the demon disasters in various places in a timely manner.
But because they have great authority, if there is a miscalculation, the harm brought to Dajin is also unimaginable.
Zi Fu Lingyue has a different opinion on this: "Henan Dao has experienced the previous corpse incident, and the major immortal sects have suffered heavy losses, and the vitality has not yet recovered, if it is the existence of a demon king." It must be a priority to work together to solve it, this is the best way to deal with it, but this thing is a little weird, haven't you noticed? ”
Shen Ning looked at Zifu Lingyue, he was not a stupid person, but when he thought of the current situation in Henan Province just now, he felt sad in his heart, but he ignored the most important problems.
"What do you mean?"
"From this letter, it can be seen that only one of the first batch of Tsing Yi Division personnel who went to Huludao to eliminate demons came back alive, why did everyone else die, but he lived? It is very likely that it was put back to report the news, this kind of behavior is like setting a trap, waiting for the town guard to deal with them, which means that there is very likely to be more than one throne-level demon in Huludao. ”
Zi Fu Lingyue's analysis was very reasonable, and even Shen Ning didn't see any mistakes.
After a long time, he nodded, and put the envelope in his arms.
Then he asked Zifu Lingyue to bring pen and ink, and he also had to write to His Majesty and the Tsing Yi Division of Henan Province about the matter of Weicheng, so that everyone could prepare early.
After the letter was written, Shen Ning put it in an envelope and pasted a talisman on it.
The next moment, this talisman burns automatically without wind and fire.
Wisps of green smoke did not disappear as they rose, but drifted out the window.
This is the unique means of transmission in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and this wisp of green smoke will carry the content of the letter and pass it to the ears of the person Shen Ning wants to tell.
"It's over here, let's go." After reading the useful official documents and extracting the useful information in them, Shen Ning left the Weicheng Yamen with Zifu Lingyue.
It's noon now, even after last night's disaster, there are still people who have set up stalls on the streets, this is no way, after all, the living still need to continue to live, of course, it is possible that they have become numb in the disasters again and again.
Shen Ning and Zi Fu Lingyue hung a restaurant and prepared to eat something before carrying out other matters.
The orders are some very common home-cooked dishes, two meats, one vegetable and one soup, which is just right for two people.
It is worth mentioning that there is a big difference between the flavor of the dishes in Henan Province and Jingxi Province.
The food of Jingxi Road pays attention to its own deliciousness, it tastes refreshing and tender, and the fragrance is overflowing, and it is precisely for this reason that Shen Ning is not very accustomed to eating the dishes of Henan Province.
Their dishes are salty, and some are spicy, which is very unaccustomed to Shen Ning, who is used to eating light tastes.
But that's all, the two of them still ate a lot, and before leaving, Shen Ning also prepared a meal for Gu Yanwu and them.
They are dealing with the aftermath of Weicheng, but they cannot be forgotten.
Coming to a street corner, Gu Yanwu was directing the people of Weicheng to rebuild their houses, of course, he himself was not idle, and the commander moved a few beanmen to lift huge bricks and stones, stacking them on top of the higher walls, which is a place that ordinary people can't get up to.
Seeing Shen Ning coming, Gu Yanwu stopped the guy in his hand.
"I've brought you some food." Shen Ning handed the food box to Gu Yanwu.
The latter opened the food box and looked at it, grinning: "I'm just hungry, you're just right here." ”
Here, Shen Ning and the others only saw Gu Yanwu, so Zifu Lingyue opened her mouth and asked, "What about the others?" Why are you the only one here. ”
Gu Yanwu gulped the food into his mouth, and did not forget to distribute some to the people who were busy, and then replied vaguely: "I was tired all night last night, so I asked them to go back to rest first, let's divide it into batches to rebuild Weicheng, so that the speed is the fastest, and it will not let these homeless people sleep on the streets." ”
Shen Ning nodded, such an arrangement is still possible.
"Good work." Shen Ning patted Gu Yanwu's shoulder and said with a smile.
Who knew that Gu Yanwu didn't appreciate it, opened his hand, and wiped his mouth: "Don't say anything hard or not, I followed you just to make more money, and there is no danger in this kind of thing, of course you can do more, I don't know if you have any credit, if you can return to Shenjing City to exchange some money." ”
Hearing his words, Shen Ning couldn't help laughing, but he still said with a smile: "Of course, you have to count your merits, I have a record of what we did and what we saw along the way, and His Majesty the Emperor will personally read it when the time comes, so you don't have to worry about this." ”
"That's pretty much it." Gu Yanwu burped in satisfaction.
Shen Ning helped on this street for a few hours, and saw that things were on the right track, so he and Zifu Lingyue left here.
